Miller went on to qualify his Marc VDS Honda and raced to a creditable eighth position, but has since undergone further examinations to ensure that he is fit to race in Italy.

“As soon as I got home from Le Mans I had a scan on the hand and the knee just to make sure there was nothing broken and since then I’ve been working with the physiotherapist to reduce the swelling in both,” said the 22-year-old.

“I’ve been doing a lot of cycling this week, but I also managed to get out on the supermotard and had no problems with the hand or the knee, so it’s looking good for the weekend ahead.”
